  • It was because he framed the lawsuit leading up to it as if it was over Dumbass’s (I forgot his name) fraudulent records and not over defammatory statements about Dumbass’s response to some other gamer offing themselves or some such similar tangential issue.

    I’ve forgotten all the details because I don’t care and I’m also drunk, but hopefully someone can clarify without making shit up. Though the core of it was that he was being sued over far more legitimate grounds than Dumbass’s provably false records. Hence why Karl lost.



  • They won’t all be interchangeable. They can have totally different max power delivery, and a device is free to require more (up to 240W by spec). The nice thing about USB-PD is it’s negotiated and a device won’t (shouldn’t) try to pull too much power for a given plug. So as long as everyone sticks to specs, they’ll be interchangeable so long as the supply can supply enough. If it cannot, at least a device should keep itself off as if a chord isn’t plugged in, or preferably have some sort of “supply too low” sign.









  • You mean a company who’s wallet depends on making it sound better than reality would claim it’s better than reality?!

    I’m shocked.

    There is ALWAYS a “better” battery coming down the pipe. Always. To say no NEW technology couldn’t work is an assumption, but so is assuming those new designs will deliver and be commercially as cheap.

    The point still stands that a battery tech for vehicles needs to be power dense and as light as possible. Right now, salt batteries are MUCH worse than other tech. To say that salt batteries will win in the end is as dumb as saying the horse with a gimp will totally win the race after more training.

    Even if the horse did have the potential, you don’t know other horses’ potentials nor do you know what other contenders will arise in the mean time.
